All will be available when I get them back (probably Saturday or Monday). A few of the books don't have many recent sales and are very low population, so those I would probably rather just put up on eBay auction instead of taking what the last one went for (mainly the Panzerfausts, Star Wars, and the ToT Image Expo). Anyways, I was really hoping for at least one 9.9, but still very pleased with the results.

Yep, this was a Fast Track submission, I also have 18 more books that I submitted at the Fast Track level on the same day at the Arizona Comic Con two weekends ago, I'm hoping they get me those grades in today, if not I guess by tomorrow. I did also send 30 books at the basic level at $18 per book, a fwe of the same books in this submission, mainly the cheaper ones. I won't see those for another 4-5 months, but I don't see any of those books as going down, so saving $10 per book is worth it to me. So I will hopefully have 18 more books graded to report on today, including a few cool Signature Series. Now it's time to recoup some of the $1500 in grading fees I just spent.

As far as advice on grading, just check both sides of the book at different angles right up to your eyeball with good lighting. I didn't check inside of any of my books, I don't want to mess with the spine, plus these are all basically brand new books that are unread, so if the outside covers are clean, I just assumed they're kosher on the inside pages. I'm sure Indy could tell you a lot more about comic grading than I can, although I have graded about 7,000 sports cards in my lifetime.

Scottie, did you use Fast Track? I don't like how CGC has basically forced us to use Fast Track now; I just can't afford to have my decent books sitting there for 4-5 months. Most of the regular service I did are book selling in the $8-$15 range online that I'm into for $2-$3 per copy, so with the price of grading at $28 doesn't seem worth it, at $18 I guess I can make some decent profit when the wait is finally over.

No word on my other 18 books today, it shows them all as processe on January 30th, but I guess they just got to this order today. I'll post the other results as soon as I get them (tomorrow morning?).

CGC is keeping me in suspense right now, but I did have one more book graded. This little guy got a 9.8, which I kind of expected (those Blank Sketch covers are made from hard construction paper that don't crease easy):
